Israeli Occupation Forces Raid Central Gaza
Israeli occupation forces raided central Gaza in the early hours of Thursday and arrested three "wanted" Palestinians, a reference to suspected freedom fighters. Palestinian sources said dozens of tanks, armored personnel carriers and other vehicles swept into the Sheikh Ijlin neighborhood, a few hundred meters from the home of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yasin. Just a little hint to the Sheikh, I'd guess. Wonder if he was home? The sources said the Zionist forces abducted three Palestinians, including an official at the Palestinian Preventive Security Force. This is the first time in many years the Israeli army goes that deep into the Gaza Strip. Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Zahar said the incursion was "a message to all freedom fighters and political activists to take precaution." Meaning they're not safe anywhere anymore? Sounds good to me. Zahar, by the way, is a member of the Hamas politburo and lives in a house big enough to have a table tennis setup in the living room for his seven kiddies, none of whom is going to explode — count on it..
